Sybase Creates Online Proposal Submission Process for General
Services Administration's Largest Procurement Agency
Sybase ASE and Sybase EAServer on Linux System Eliminates Snail Mail and
Expedites Purchasing Process
DUBLIN, Calif., Sept. 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sybase, Inc. (NYSE:SY)
announces the successful launch of eOffers, an eGovernment online portal of the
Commercial Acquisition business unit of GSA's Federal Supply Service (FSS).
The enterprise infrastructure and information management solution provided by
Sybase ASE, an enterprise class relational database management system and
Sybase EAServer application server on Linux has enabled eOffers solution at GSA
to deliver a streamlined, higher level of service by expediting the FSS IT
schedule contracting process through online applications. A "schedule" is a
negotiated price list of products and services offered to the government. An
"offer" is a vendor response to a specific government request for products and
services. This revolutionary and highly efficient vendor consideration process
uses Sybase's Web services and database management solution and allows GSA
contracting officers to evaluate price submissions free of additional
administrative burden and time.
"Sybase ASE and EAServer on Linux are key components of this e-government
site," said Don Heffernan, chief information officer of the General Services
Administration's Federal Supply Service. "In a very short time, the team took
the system from a vision of the future and turned it into an operational
reality providing tremendous value to the Federal employees and contractors
using it."
The Federal Supply Service processes approximately a thousand proposals
annually for schedule contracts. The benefits from this new online system
include a faster response time for vendors and contractors by eliminating a
multi-step paper process, and improved service as vendors will be able to
modify their schedule contracts online. Sybase's ASE database management
system helps the agency's online system by integrating the open source software
and allowing the agency to keep its original mainframe investment. Sybase
EAServer drives the eOffers application on Linux, running J2EE(TM) web
applications. The system is integrated into other systems in the GSA by
utilizing the Sybase EAServer Web Services Toolkit, as well as open source web
service software.
"Sybase is proud to assist in the creation of the eOffers solution for the
Federal Supply Service and deliver immediate business benefits through this
extremely cost effective solution of ASE on Linux," said David Lavanty, vice
president, Public Sector and Healthcare, Sybase. "Sybase's EAServer and Web
services provide unsurpassed stability and scalability delivering a higher
quality of service while still minimizing time and cost."
